Out Of Africa - CitizenMofo2

16th May 2022 06:50 - 4 years ago
Description : When our ancient ancestors migrated out of Africa (which probably happened several times), it was likely driven by drought. I tried to imagine that in this piece, using the fantastic trap track, looperman-t-2047901-0201182-barley-grass-contender, unmodified, as the musical template.
The DAW I used is Audacity (not in the list).
It's fun to imagine history and I hope you enjoy this attempt.

Thank you! Just so you know, the trap track is just as it was. I didn't change it, just used it as is, and let it shape the lyrics accordingly. That break in the middle is there in the trap track, for example, and that shaped my little story, the first half going in and the second half coming out of the desert after nearly expiring. The shape of the story was determined by the shape of the music, which was handed to me on a silver platter. I love this type of exercise - or game. Find a great trap track and lay lyrics on it as is. Thanks, Tumbleweed, I have used many of your loops and have always appreciated your musicianship, which far exceeds mine.

I saw that climate change and the deforesting of Africa forced the apes to walk upright to see predators in the tall grasses that flourished in their new habitat. Oh my aching back! Drought caused issues with the Sumerian civilizations. How bad are the droughts out in the western US now? Dang!

Interesting piece, stark, menacing, robotic, futuristic, barren at times. The vocals go well with the music, they compliment each other.

Thank you!
I have a monkey hat that I sometimes wear to remind me of where we came from. Just kidding. I wear it to amuse my grandkids.
The past is interesting to learn about because it's always changing. Or, that is, our understanding of it is.
I'm interested in the sunken continents like Beringia and Doggerland. I believe they're rich with ancient settlements, artifacts and bones that would completely change our human storyr, but we can't get to them as they're underwater. It always amazes me that, the more we know, the less we know. Everything I learned in school is now wrong. But, I guess, that just keeps it interesting.
